Gearbox President Calls Other Developers 'Cry Babies'

Gearbox Software's president Randy Pitchford called developers complaining about Unreal Engine 3 "cry babies," who are "maybe new, or not used to using other people's technology or if they've gotten too many inexperienced developers."

Pitchford has nothing but praise for Gearbox's experience with Unreal Engine 3 during development of Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway, calling it an "outstanding piece of technology."

Epic and its Unreal Engine have taken some heat from developers, and is currently embroiled in a legal showdown with licensee Silicon Knights. Pitchford, meanwhile, sees great advantage in licensing the engine, because it lets developers "piggyback on what Epic have done and even push it further."
